29.2.2 Configuration flow

1. Execute the swrt_table_resource command to enable IPv6 routing in advance.

2. Configure the IPv6 interfaces in advance.

3. Set the address of the local device in the loopback interface in advance.

4. Configure the BGP4+ peers.

5. Set the BGP4+ route learning policy.

6. Set the BGP4+ route advertising policy.

7. Configure learned route filtering.

8. Configure advertised route filtering.

9. Set the learned route filter conditions.

10. Set the advertised route filter conditions.

11. Apply the filters to BGP4+ operation.

Notes

• If you connect a BGP4+ peer, use the neighbor activate configuration command to enable the IPv6 address family. If the IPv6 family is disabled, BGP4+ peers cannot be connected.

• If you set up BGP4+ peering without first configuring the route filters, the Switch will begin performing route learning and advertising as soon as the peer relations are established. To prevent unintended route learning and advertising, first set the disable configuration command to disable BGP4+ operation, and then set the neighbor remote-as configuration command. To start BGP4+ after configuring the route filters, use the no form of the disable configuration command.
